Return to 1983: Starting from hunting in the mountains

Chapter 35 Li Changsheng, State-owned Hotel Manager

"Brother Jiansheng, this is the county seat! It's much more elegant than the streets in our hometown. This is the first time I've come here since I've grown up."

As soon as Lu Erniu entered the county town, he looked around like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

"Well, Erniu, don't wander around in the city!" Lu Jiansheng reminded.

"Brother Jiansheng, don't worry. My dad told me to listen to you and I will do whatever you ask me to do."

Lu Erniu rubbed his head honestly.

Lu Jiansheng couldn't help but smile when he heard this. Although this boy was silly, he was obedient.

The two were pulling a cart along the streets of the county. In this era, pulling a wild boar was a conspicuous thing in the county. From time to time, pedestrians passing by saw the wild boar in the cart and started talking about it.

Lu Jiansheng planned to go to the state-owned hotel where he went last time to sell wild boars, pheasants and hares, and then go to the purchasing station.

But as soon as they pulled the cart through the corner, they heard the noise coming from the store next to them.
  "Have a bowl of noodles!"

"Okay! Your two bowls of big bone noodles are ready!" The business of the small noodle shop was very good. The owner's wife was as busy as a spinning top. She quickly brought two bowls of bone noodles and placed them in front of Lu Jiansheng.

"I want it with chopped green onions!"

Look at this small noodle shop, it doesn't look like it did in later generations. Not to mention it's open 24 hours a day, even small restaurants like this are very rare. I'm afraid it will be closed if I come back later.

Lu Jiansheng brought a bowl to Lu Erniu.

Lu Jiansheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and his suppressed hunger was awakened.

Lu Jiansheng immediately walked into the noodle shop, while Lu Erniu squatted outside and looked at the wild boar on the cart.

"Brother Jiansheng, I'm not hungry."

After a while.

Lu Jiansheng's journey from Liuligouzi Village to the county seat was driven by Lu Erniu's great efforts.
  But such a long journey was not easy for him. Even if he ate two steamed buns in the morning, he was really hungry and his chest was pressed against his back.

"Less chili! I can't eat spicy food!"

Lu Jiansheng first took a look at the price on the wooden sign, and then said to the boss: "Bring me two bowls of big bone noodles!"

……

"Two cows, you eat too."

Lu Erniu looked at the white noodles and couldn't help but lick his mouth.

Lu Jiansheng did not hesitate. Now that he had arrived at the county seat, he was not in a hurry and wanted to fill his stomach first.

Along with these sounds, there was also the strong fragrance of noodles that penetrated straight towards the tip of his nose.
  "It smells so good!"

"Little brother, what kind of noodles do you want to eat?" The shop owner greeted Lu Jiansheng enthusiastically when he saw him entering the shop.

Lu Erniu licked his mouth.

"Take it and eat it! Don't be polite to me and wait until we go back later. There's still such a long way to go! You can't do much work when you're hungry."

"Hurry up and take it, the weather is getting cold, and this noodle is not cheap for more than ten cents!"

"My dear! Why is this so expensive?" Lu Erniu quickly took it and looked at Lu Jiansheng gratefully.

"It smells so good!"

Lu Erniu held the bowl and squatted beside the cart on the road to eat.

Lu Jiansheng returned to the store. Before he could eat, he saw a middle-aged man walk in from outside and sit down in front of him.

"Little brother, go to the city to sell wild goods! Did you kill that wild boar outside?" The middle-aged man just looked at Lu Jiansheng and asked.

"Yeah." Lu Jiansheng nodded.

“My little brother is really awesome at being able to hunt down a wild boar!!”

The middle-aged man continued.

When Lu Jiansheng saw the middle-aged man who took the initiative to strike up a conversation, he couldn't help but guess that this man wanted to buy his wild boar? Don't blame him for thinking so.

If you don't want to buy it, he can ask.

Moreover, Lu Jiansheng was obviously thinking about making a living, and he didn't bother to pay attention to him at first, but this person came over and praised him for his greatness! It’s not that I didn’t want to buy his wild boar. Of course, the most important point was because this man could afford it at first glance.

This middle-aged man is not an ordinary citizen. He eats fat and fat. Being fat and fat is also a status in this era. Moreover, based on the clothes he wears and the fact that he takes the initiative to strike up a conversation, he looks like Jiuhe at first glance. dealing with people,
  From this, Lu Jiansheng can clearly judge that this person may have a certain status, but his status is not high. He is probably a small leader of some well-off department, otherwise he would not be able to afford it.

Of course, there is also the fact that now is not like in the future. If you encounter someone who takes the initiative to talk to you twenty or thirty years later, there is no doubt that he is a liar.

Just as Lu Jiansheng thought, the middle-aged man named Li Changsheng is the manager of a state-owned hotel in Guangzhou.
  Guangzhou State-owned Hotel is the highest-standard state-owned hotel in Guangzhou County. He has seven or eight cooks at his disposal. The leader came to the county for inspection. As the highest-standard state-owned hotel in the county, this task naturally fell to him. superior.

These days, ordinary people who are short of fat and water like to eat pork, but some people are tired of eating pork. Li Changsheng heard that the leader who came this time likes to eat game. Li Changsheng took a fancy to this big wild boar at a glance outside. It had four wild boar legs. It can also be used as a gift, otherwise he wouldn't come in person.

"Okay!"

Lu Jiansheng said slowly, in fact, it doesn't matter whether the other party buys it or not. There is a shortage of meat these days, and wild boars can be sold in any state-owned store, but the price is cheap, but of course he will be very happy if he can sell it at a high price.

Li Changsheng didn't hesitate too much and said, "Sell all your goods to me. I'll buy them all."

The middle-aged man's purpose is the same as what Lu Jiansheng thought. So when he heard that he wanted to buy them all, Lu Jiansheng was not too surprised at this time. He just said calmly: "Okay, how much will it cost?"

Seeing Lu Jiansheng's calm expression, Li Changsheng was stunned. He knew that a wild boar was worth a lot of money, but in front of him, he was dressed as if he came from a ravine, but he was so calm, which was beyond his expectation. Anyone else would have jumped with joy.

What Li Changsheng didn't know was that Lu Jiansheng saw that he was interested in these wild goods and was thinking of how to sell them at a high price.

"This still needs to be weighed, but don't worry, you won't suffer any loss if you sell it to me. Come with me to my store now." Li Changsheng said sincerely, and then he was afraid that Lu Jiansheng wouldn't believe it, so he hurriedly added: "My name is Li Changsheng , is the manager of the Guangzhou State-owned Hotel, if you don’t believe me, you can ask around.”

Gwangju state-owned hotel? Lu Jiansheng couldn't help but feel moved when he heard this. These days, state-owned hotels are basically either called state-owned hotels directly, or with place names, or with meaningful names like Xinhua and Sanba. There are several state-owned hotels in Guangzhou County, but The Gwangju State-owned Hotel is the largest.

"I believe you, but Manager Li, don't rush to smoke a cigarette, wait until I finish eating the noodles."

Lu Jiansheng smiled and took out the box of unsmoked "Yingchun" from his arms and gave one to Li Changsheng.

"Uh... you are all smoking now, this??"

Li Changsheng looked at the "Yingchun Brand" cigarettes handed over by Lu Jiansheng in surprise.
